The Georgetown Free Store was a short-lived warehouse in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood that collected and provided clothing and food to unemployed and poor residents. The store was run by members of the Seattle Liberation Front (SLF), a radical, anti-war organization active in 1970-1971. The Free Store was also one of 18 organizations that presented a list of 16 demands to the King County Central Welfare office in September of 1970, to help "recognize welfare and food stamp recipients as dignified human beings worthy of respect." Located at 5441 Airport Way South, the warehouse was opened in 1970 and closed in 1971.
